[quote=Anonymous]My daughter turned 2 at the beginning of the summer.  She has gone through all kinds of issues with sleeping since she was an infant but we had gotten to a point where she would go to sleep relatively easily and sleep through the night and was taking a 2 hour nap every day.  We brought home our now almost 4 month old and our 2 year old was totally fine with her for the first 3 months.  I should say there is no problem at all with her interaction with our infant - i dont think it could be any better but her sleeping has gotten awful.  In the past couple of weeks she has pretty much stopped napping in her crib which is a whole other problem.  She has also more recently gone into her crib at bedtime (not happy about it but also not screaming). She stands there in the crib for hours.  I'll see her on the monitor slumped over, sleeping but still standing.  Sometimes she'll wake up, cry a little and fall back asleep still standing.  She usually does not eventually lay down.  She stands there for hours and finally starts screaming and crying between 1 and 3 in the morning which is when we finally get her out of the crib, bring her into our room, give her milk and she sleeps in our bed sometimes until 10 because she is so tired by the time she gets into our bed.  This is obviously not working.  She is not getting enough sleep, we are not getting enough sleep (thankfully our infant is a fantastic sleeper so far and she has not yet been affected by this.  She is sleeping in our room still though - eventually the plan is for the 2 of them to share a room but that obviously can't happen until our 2 year old is sleeping better.  It has never helped to go in to her room and enourage her to lay down or comfort her - she just gets madder - although i havent tried this since she was a year old.  Would love to hear some advice, approaches etc.[/quote]
